Budget Roadside Assistance
It was simple to obtain the roadside assistance application on line and easy to follow. As yet, I have not had to use roadside assistance. Reading the reviews have been positive which is an incentive to be a member. Thank you Budget Direct.

Quick response and helpful
I Called and got response straight away. Helpful staff guided me through the critic time of the accident with sympathy of the situation. All the necessary process was taken care. However time for panel repairing took a month that is the only matter.

The service I received when lodging my claim with Budget was unreal!! Very easy and the gentleman who serviced me was very pleasant, even though I called at about 11pm at night. He made the whole process very easy!

Didnt need it in the end
I didn't use it at all but like the concept of roadside assistance. I was hoping for a card or something tangible to always carry with me when I am on the road but did not receive any evidence of having purchased the roadside assistance. So glad I never had to have to phone budget direct for actual assistance. I cancelled it subsequently.

Flat Battery
I stopped at a truck stop on the road to eat my lunch and when finished my car wouldn't start. Thank goodness for Roadside Assist as I was some distance from a town. The mechanic was very polite and got my car going again so I could continue to make my next four hours home. As I was an aged women on my own I was very grateful for the assistance of the Budget Direct team.

Crap! We won't be renewing
We had to pay extra to get our car taken to the too of our drive way. We also found the roadside assist very unprofessional. They didn't have any professional car logo and when i had to get a new battery, they sent a young boy to check on me in a beat up car. The actual cover - insurance from budget is good but I'll be going with someone else for roadside.

I have never had to use this service.
I am sure that Budget Direct's Roadside Assistance is fine. I have never had any reason to require Roadside Assistance, but probably will some time in the future. my previous Insurer never offered this service.

I have recently purchased road side assistance for my mother. When does the 48 hour waiting period start? From time of payment? Or when policy is received?
1 answer
Budget D.Budget Direct
Thank you for asking the question. Roadside Assistance starts 48 hours after you buy the Roadside Assistance
agreement (once the call ends). If you need help in first 48 hours of purchasing the Roadside Assistance, or at any time due to a preexisting condition, we charge a non-refundable service fee of $100 (including GST)on top of any Roadside Assistance premium. We hope this provides you with further clarity, regarding your concern.

Do Not Ever Use This Company as its a Complete Waste Of Time and Money With Shocking Customer Service-They try and Charge For Items Which would be Normally Covered under Other Providers.
Save Yourself The Trouble-Pay a Bit Extra in Premium and Get Good Service
They Use Ultratune as a provider So Basically 2 companies With Different Policies and Keep On Passing The Buck between Each Other.-Charged Me $100 To "Extract" A Car From a Shopping Centre by walking 30m Up The Ramp Then Jumpstarting and Loading It Onto a Tow Truck -Just Checked With another Provider and said They Don't Charge For this Kind Of Service as Part Of Tow Assist -Keep Away From Them

I am a member of budget direct roadside assistance, I have used there service and on all occasions have had no problems.
You r lucky then Stevens just look up my story with them the same issue outsourced to Ultratune which wont admit to their own incompetence and hence wrong advice whilst Allianze was correct
